Nonfiction editing services

For academics, memoirists, essayists, and other writers of nonfiction.

Pre-submission editing

A hybrid service I developed just for writers who want their make sure their work is polished before they submit to publishers or journals

Proofreading

For authors whose work has already been (or is on track to be) copyedited, designed, and typeset, and who would like a professional close look at the page proofs stage

Developmental editing

For writers undertaking significant revisions to their work: restructuring, reducing word count by more than 10%, or revising a dissertation into a book

Fiction editing services

For novelists and short story writers; writers who intend to self-publish and those publishing traditionally.

Pre-submission editing

For writers who want to make sure their work is polished before submitting to publishers, publications, or agents

Authenticity reading

For writers whose work deals with identities or experiences they may not have firsthand experience with, and who want an evaluation from someone who does

Proofreading

For authors whose work has been formatted for publication and who want one last check for typos, design issues, and other fine-detailed errors missed in earlier stages of editing

Editing for self-publishing authors

A hybrid service I developed just for self-publishing authors who feel their big-picture concerns are resolved and just want help with finer-detailed polishing

For writers who don’t feel their draft matches their vision for the work, or whose beta readers, publishers, or other editors have recommended revisions to plot, characterization, or other big-picture concerns
